Greetings, @MW123 ,

Your kind reply means so much to me regarding my massive spiel.

It took many weeks of ranting, saving, honing and pulling out the offensive stuff and making it civil for spreadsheet-cell-brained government types who don't care about us anyway, but it had to be "said".

I invite all to check through my rantings if they have weeks to read it - and share it, if anyone else is brave enough to wade through it all.

Solidarity, My Dear Friends.

And respects, always,

Tumble

How can they predict the uplift in UC and PIP rates for the next 5 years ?

from: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/bills/cbill/59-01/0267/240267.pdf

Now the Bill has had its First Reading, I think its worthwhile completing the Green Paper questionaire again, focussing on what is now known from the Bill's publication and those areas that have been left deliberately grey or ommitted to be dealt with under future legislation.

With reference to UC LCWRA (severe disability group) the emphasis on NHS diagnoses is of concern to many who "only" have autism or MH issues but others as well. I also wonder about people who have been diagnosed outside the UK. An increasing number of people are being diagnosed outside the NHS for reasons I don't have to spell out.

That image ought to be sent as an attachment to future emails.

Yes. It will be interesting to watch junior members of the government between now and the Second Reading and how many Labour MPs will lose the Party Whip after the vote.

Labour is both incompetent and dishonest. Unfortunately, most people now think of PIP as an out of work benefit. It's just so wrong. PIP helps people in education, finding appropriate work, and keeping it.

it’s only MPs who vote in the House of Commons … I believe.
